Help on creating "Writing assistant" word 2003

[Vinnie]

Hello all,

I'm looking for some hands on assistance/help/examples on how to create a
word document which will be used to sent to customers.
The document should contain a fixed header with company logo, and (the most
difficult part for me, because it's the first time i will be programming in
vba) a functionnality that allows the user the select between different
opening, middle, ending paragraphs (i was thinking with the help of
dropdownboxes). Idealy the source of the text comes from an SQL database.

Has anybody ever done such a thing, and if yes, could you give me some
pointers or examples how to accomplish this.

If further explanations are needed, i will be hanging around in these groups
quite some time. I will also post this issue on other word forums.

Thanks already for your assistance.
